    The Liddell/Jones is interesting to me. Liddell in his prime was a difficult matchup for any 205'er in history. But I don't think Liddell ever faced someone of Jones' size and athleticism. The wrestling would have been really interesting. We all think of Liddell as that bomber, but man his td defense was sick and even more so, if you did get him down it was practically impossible to keep him there. My gut tells me to go with Jones. But man, I really don't know.

    Honestly, these were all easy picks, only the Arlovski-Coleman fight made me think about it. Coleman's prime was a LONG time ago and MMA is much more evolved now than Coleman's prime putting him at a disadvantage. Arlovski's weakness is his ability to take a punch but Coleman isn't a big threat there on his feet anyway.
